Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Good value for what's included.

Well paced over 9 days with enough free time to not feel herded. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.

North-east Brazil done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.

Reply from Pumice & Pine

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
